I know it's summer...I just have a question about winter tires. I'm planning out my finances...balancing the must haves to the just-for-fun haves, where the latter is everyone?s favourite one :D

Has anyone heard of Granite HT winter tires? This is the type of tire that my dealer is offering for winter tires. I haven't heard of this brand and wonder if anyone has used them in winter. Yay or Nay?

I assume that you are looking at Toyo Garrit HT winter tires, which many forum members have. I like them on my car, and bought a set for my wife's car.

The size I have is 215/55R17

 

mdmaclean - So I take it you drive in winter with your 8, how is it with these snowtires? I'm got a quote for $1600 + taxes for rims and tires for my 8, what do you think?

I went for the group buy last year with Talon Tire in Montreal, so I saved sales tax as well. The thread is below.

:D I'm also a new owner looking for winter tires and rims. Anyone having any idea of the best deals, please let me know.

 

Bellef,
Please do a search of the Canada forum section for "winter tires" and/or "winter wheels". There's a bunch of threads from last fall where we discuss what to use and where to get it - also, where we've posted what we got. That should provide all the background material you need! Feel free to ask any questions you have after reading some of those threads.

Regards,
Gordon
